That would be all from the coverage of this match. Join us tomorrow. Goodbye for now.

Mahmudullah, Bangladesh captain:I think the wicket was quite good and 140 was gettable. We were missing that one big over in the middle. Bowlers did their job really well but the batting unit weren't good enough tonight. (If Bangladesh were complacent when Scotland were 53/6) Don't think so, we were just one wicket away. Credit goes to their batters, they had a good finish. Yeah, when you can't chase 140, there needs to be a look-in, need to correct the mistakes. We still need to be positive and figure out where we made mistakes, and not try to repeat them. Beautiful wicket to bat on, fantastic ground and crowd, we need to pull our socks up and play better cricket.

Player of the Match

Scotland's Chris Greaves is the Player of the Match for his 45 from 28 balls and 2 wickets.

Chris Greaves:We were in a tough situation obviously and it doesn't always go that way. It was just to rebuild the innings at that stage and see where we could go from there. I was happy to be that person. With the score on the board, you've got something to bowl at. I think once we got that total on the board with our bowling lineup, we'll back it. It was a great great game. It was my day I think today. It will be many other days that any one of us in that squad will be a part of. I'm just glad I could contribute in the way I did. Incredible. There's so many words. Just really enjoying it and taking one day at a time. Hopefully many more days like this to come."

Players to watch out for

Mustafizur Rahman, Bangladesh: The left-handed pacer enjoyed a good IPL season with Rajasthan Royals in which he picked 14 wickets from 14 innings. This season in international T20s, the pacer has picked 18 wickets from 10 games at an average of just 9.94. Theleft-arm pacer also holds the record for the best bowling figures for Bangladesh bowling in an ICCT20 World Cup game.Mustafizur is known for his pinpoint yorkers and variations in slower deliveries. Bangladesh’s success depends on his form with the ball.

Geroge Munsey, Scotland: Scotland’s opening batter is known for his big hits.In 2019, in a match between Scotland and the Netherlands, Munsey ripped apart Netherland’s bowling attack smashing 14 sixes and five fours en route to an unbeaten 127 from 56 deliveries.The fourteen maximums that Munsey hit, levelled him with Australian skipper Aaron Finch for the second-most sixes hit by a batter in a T20I inning. Munsey has 1383 T20 runs which he has scored at an average of 27.11 and a strike rate of 153.66.

Captain quotes from toss

Mahmudullah, Bangladesh captain: We would like to bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, with plenty of runs, but we would like to chase it down, because of the dew. We would like to play the best cricket we can. We got three all-rounders.

Kyle Coetzer, Scotland captain:We were happy with either ways, we are good with batting first. You got to put runs on the board. There might be a bit dew around, but you got to bat well and deal with the pressure (in the second innings). We have everything covered.

Toss

Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah wins the toss and opts to bowl first.
